I am looking for an optic for my first ebr, and was just thinking to myself, "gee, wouldn't it be nice if I could get an idea of what it looks like looking through this glass vs that glass etc". I thought it would be cool if we could gather a bunch of different sight pictures from the myriad of...

I am thinking about trading into one of these locally, but am concerned by some of the mixed reviews I have been reading. If I do get it, I will be doing so in hopes of making it my primary concealed carry piece. So, just like the poll says: Para P12-45- would you trust your life to it? PS...

I was just wondering the origins of this. Is it just b/c HK is notorious for having less than desirable customer service, or is there actually a funny story behind this little saying??

I was just wondering.... If any of you have been following my other posts, you know that I am currently at quagmire trying to decide whether to go AK or AR with my first rifle. One of the major arguments I keep reading about the AK vs AR debate is that the AR iron sites are better because the...

I am looking to trade into my first AR and I received an offer involving this gun. Can somebody tell me a little bit about this gun? http://www.bushmaster.com/catalog_xm15_BCWA3S16D.asp What are the advantages/disadvantages of this "dissipator" set-up vs. a "mid-length" or "carbine" M4...

First let me say, I know verry little about rifles. Most of my gun experience up until this point has been with handguns. That said, I already have a few high cap handguns w/ spare mags (though you can never have too many). I would like to get a good tactical/defense rifle (see, I don't...

I was just wondering: is the P7 going to be a 'collector's gun'? Is it going to go up in value as the supply runs out? I don't have a 'collection' (the three guns I have are defense guns), but was thinking this would be a good start. I saw one at Cabela's today and was checking it out. I...

Is a DAK or LEM type trigger any 'safer' than a Glock, XD, etc? I know they are all safe when carried correctly, but take it with a grain of salt. From an objective standpoint, which is better?? Which is harder to have an AD with? To make a long story short: I am in the process of...

As some of you may know from my other posts, I am in the market for my first conceal carry weapon. I shot the USP compact today and it felt great in my hands and lined up very naturally for me. I was just wondering what the general consensus (pros and cons, durability, etc) the public had...

Quick question for you Sig owners: I have read from a lot of different reviews that people recommend the P239 over the P229 for concealed carry, due to the fact that it is smaller and easier to conceal. From looking only at the dimensions of the two guns and looking at them side x side, the...

I have been shooting a little over two and half years now, and have finally become comfortable and proficient enough with a handgun that I no longer feel cc would do me more harm than good (aka get me out of a sticky situation rather than put me in one). So its time for me to pick out what my...

I am just looking to make some target rounds for my .45ACP 1911, have all the components, but have haven't been at the reloading bench in over 4 months. None of my reloading manuals have any recipes that seem to match up with my components properly. I know I need to keep my oal b/w 1.2"...

Ok, I know harshest recoil and .22lr prob don't belong in the same sentence must be considered w/ a grain of salt, but I am looking to buy a .22 to get some cheap trigger time in and need some advice. My main problem shooting is taking my eyes off of the front sight and flinching when I move up...

Had my first shotgun experience today. Been want to go shoot sporting clays for a while now, and my coworker invited me today. Had a blast. Now I am looking into getting a good field gun to get started w/. I do not know much about shotguns (know more about handguns right now), but I would...

How do I determine what magazines my 1911 will like? So I take my first 1911 to the range oday (STI Spartan), and the last shot on both of my first two magazines failed to chamber. After that it got better, but there were still three other failures to chamber. Two of the failures were in the...

Well, I did it. I read all the posts about idiot marks and this and that, got my first 1911, and put a MINOR one on my during first reassembly. I think I can remove it pretty easily. Just rubbing it w/ my fingers has seemed to spread the material around a little more evenly. I just was...

I know the obvious answer is 'get what you like,' or a reply similar to that, but I do not have a strong visual memory, and therefore I am having a hard time imagining what these grips are going to look like on my gun. I have basically narrowed my choices down to a set from vzgrips or a set...

I am seriously thinking about getting grips from here: http://davidsonknives.com/grips/grips.htm but I would like to hear other peoples thoughts on these grips. Also, anybody that has a pair could post some pics I would greatly appreciate it. I like these grips but I am having a hard...

I am going to my buddy's farm this weekend to shoot and am really excited b/c at my local ranges I can only shoot paper. I don't have a lot of money to spend on targets, but I've got a lot of good cheap ideas already. But I really want to shoot some exploding stuff. I've got some ideas for...

I just got done pressing off my first batch of handloads ever, and I just wanted to thank everyone here at THR handloading/reloading forum for all the help getting me started on the right foot. i could not have been better prepared. No unforeseen problems, not running out to get extra...
